Grand Opening: Welcome to the Dramabeans Shop!
by javabeans
[Take 2! We ran into technical difficulties the first time we attempted to launch, but we’re hopeful that we’ve worked out the kinks. Wish us luck this time!]
Dramabeans now has a shop!
(And, fingers crossed, it’ll stay here this time!)
In our quest to make all aspects of drama fandom more enjoyable and accessible to us all (and, yes, also to feed our addictions), we are launching our brand-new Dramabeans Shop!
I bet you’ve already noticed, but you can access our shop via the header, using the handy-dandy link up top:
The Dramabeans Shop has been a work in progress for ages (it feels like forever!), and we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make this project happen. We’ve always wanted to be able to provide this kind of information for fans, like where to get that Director’s Cut DVD box set for that show, or how to get your hands on your very own Goblin doll (YOU GUYS WE HAVE GOBLIN DOLLS OMG YASSSS), and now we get to be your very own supplier.
What are we selling?
We’re launching with five main categories:
- Music: Drama and movie OSTs
- DVDs: Drama and movie DVDs and Blu-Ray box sets
- Hallyu Collectibles: Toys and trinkets from dramas (Goblin dolls, Chun Song-yi’s twisted nail ring), fandom paraphernalia, and other merchandise
- K-Beauty: K-beauty products. Girlfriday and I are certified K-beauty junkies. You should be too.
- Beanie Loot: Dramabeans merch! We only made a limited number so we may sell out, but if the interest is high, we’ll be sure to make more loot.
Each category has a dropdown menu. Hover over the category header to find more subcategories.
How can we buy things from the shop?
The shopping cart and checkout process are fairly standard. On each item page, you’ll find an “Add to Cart” button, and once you’re viewing the cart, you’ll be able to check out and enter your payment and shipping information.
What payment methods do you accept?
Currently, we accept payments through Paypal. You don’t have to have a Paypal account in order to use Paypal; you can check out using a credit card.
How does shipping work? How long will it take for me to get my loot?
All of our items will ship from Korea, so shipping times will vary based on where you are. Orders of $75 or more qualify for free shipping!
You can get more detailed shipping information on our Shop FAQ.
What if I run into problems?
Please email any shop-related questions and concerns to shop@dramabeans.com.
We will do our best to address any problems or glitches as soon as we can! We appreciate all of your understanding and patience as we work out any kinks that may arise. (*holds breath* *crosses fingers* *incants magic chant to ward off potential techie bugs*)
Go forth and shop!

Oh well, I'll start when I can afford it :-P

Congratulations to the Dramabeans team. I hope you can celebrate and pat yourselves on the back for all your hard work.
I just wanted to ask if there will be any all regions or region 2 DVD's available with English subs? (It will be very frustrating to see movies and shows in the shop that won't play in Europe.) Thanks.

October 17, 2017 at 6:13 AM
It's really easy in Europe to get cheap DVD players that play all region (many existing ones just need a code). You could search for your player type with the words 'region hack' and check. For a long time it was really only some Sony that would have needed a firmware adjustment. It's meant for the past decade or so a fair chunk of my DVD shopping has been Region 3!

October 17, 2017 at 12:44 PM
Ah. Thanks. I know some DVD's are all regions but didn't realise I might also be able to play Region 3 ones too. I just assumed I couldn't so avoided buying them. I'll investigate further.

If you have a computer with DVD or blue-ray drive it should be possible. Maybe even free.
For DVDs, VLC (free) might be able to do it.
For Blue-ray, there are free files that enhance VLC to play protected disks, but I'm not sure how well they work.
Paid programs like MakeMKV should be able to do it.

Would we make requests at the e-mail? I'd read the Forest of Secrets/Stranger OST had been released. It's about the only one I've ever noticed with something other than irritation or fast forward.
